    So... newbies, rookies, and old timers alike...

    How do these three NBA celebs relate? What do they have in common?

    Hint: It is more than the obvious. ;)

    In order to stimulate your minds... I'll add to it.


    They all played when the league still had short shorts.

    Riley played with one of the greatest centers of all time, Ewing got beat by one of the greatest centers of all time, and of course, Dream is one of the greatest centers of all time.

    As an aside, it's amazing how often Riley has been a part of basketball history...

    His high school team beat Power Memorial who had a kid named Lew Alcindor.

    Played for Rupp and lost to "Glory Road" Texas Western in the NCAA Finals.

    He was the very first draft pick for the Rockets franchise.

    Ended up playing behind West on a Lakers team that won 33 straight.

    Coached a great Lakers team, including the kid he beat in high school.

    Trademarked "threepeat."

    He was in a Columbo episode.
